The Devil in the White City (2003) is a nonfiction book by American author Erik Larson that tells parallel stories of civic pride and big-city boosterism during the Gilded Age (c. 1870–1900) and the gruesome crimes of a con man and murderer. Larson intertwines the story of serial killer H.H. Holmes (the “devil” of the book’s title) with that of architect Daniel Burnham and his work on the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
